Sweet Delight: Copycat Lofthouse Sugar Cookies
These cookies have that signature soft texture that makes them irresistible. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a colorful frosting, they are sure to be a hit!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Your choice of frosting (for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla and almond extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top with your favorite frosting and dust with powdered sugar for that extra sweetness!
